It has too much javascript in the page BUT Actually it validates.

http://validator.w3.org/check? 
uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slsa.sa.gov.au%2Fsite%2Fpage.cfm


It let me in with no hinderance with Mozilla and Firefox, better than  
some libraries.

RE: [WSG] Not a Good Impression

2007-02-08 Thread Frank Palinkas
My apologies, let me describe my experience with it further:

In Opera 9.1, loading and executing the url produces an addition to the
address:

/error_msg/unknown_browser.cfm

The Unknown or Untested Browser/Operating System Combination page opens.

Clicking the Text Only Version hyperlink produces an Object Instantiation
Exception dialog box.

Clicking the Enter the full graphic version (Internet Explorer comp. mode)
and (mozilla comp. mode) hyperlinks produces the web page, but also with the
misaligned top nav as you also see it.

Re: [WSG] Not a Good Impression

Opened for me with Safari.

I tried it in Opera on a Mac and got this javascript error message.

A Javascript error?



Yup, insertAdjacentHTML is an IE-Win-only method. Obviously it saw  
the MSIE that Opera includes in its default User Agent string and  
decided to charge ahead with the IE version.


Bloody amateurs.

Cheers,

Nick.

Re: [WSG] Not a Good Impression

2007-02-08 Thread Jermayn Parker
Using firefox at work I do not get that warning message but just a site with 
the navigation out of line etc


It does not seem like its the only SA gov website that lacks a bit.

Recently I did a test on the tourism sites of the states of Australia and SA 
came up the worst then as well
